Hello all from the hills of northeast TN. I’ve been an off and on hunter since I was a kid, mainly small game and birds (with dogs). I had opportunity to work in South Africa in 2008 and have always wanted to go back. A good friend got me back into hunting, shooting and reloading and will be taking my first hunting trip to SA in about 3 weeks at the young age of 59! Can’t wait to meet everyone that made trip possible (Trophy Game Safaris, the guys at Hammer Bullets and Giving Back TV)
 
Welcome to AH TNDave! Have a great hunt and journey in South Africa. Hope you'll share your time with us here upon your return.
 
Hello and welcome!

Enjoy the hunt!

Welcome and write about your experience in South Africa.

Let us know how it goes.

Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome @TNDave I see you are from my neck of the woods. I live in Southwest Virginia right next to Tennessee and Kentucky boarders. I myself am leaving in about 3 weeks for my first hunt in RSA. Hope you enjoy your hunt.
 
Welcome to AH, enjoy your hunt!
 
Welcome to AH, Dave !
 
Welcome to AH! Enjoy the site.
 
Have fun.

Welcome to AH.
 
Hi Dave welcome to AH. What part of northeast Tennessee. I'm near Johnson City.

Have a great time in SA.
 
TNDave, glad you joined us. What part of South Africa will you be hunting? Are you taking your own rifles or renting? What calibers, do you reload? Have you been shooting of "sticks," their use is expected in Africa. Be glad you are able to start hunting Africa so young, hopefully that will allow you to get more trips in during your lifetime.
 
Will be hunting Limpopo area. Taking own rifles, 300 WSM as main and 6.5 creedmoor as back up. Right now load 223, 6.5 creedmoor, 270, 308, 300 WSM, 338 ruger. Hoping soon be loading 375 ruger and having 280 Ackley Improved built. Yes, have been shooting off sticks, probably have close 1,000 rounds and will be taking my own since used to them. Hopefully this will be first of many trips.
 
Welcome to AH! Very pretty country you're from. Occasionally I've been known to make the NASCAR pilgrimage to Bristol.
 
Welcome to AH sir! Hope you have a great hunt.
 
Good luck and shoot straight. Make sure you take lots of pictures so you can post when you get back
